Extra shields adds new variants of shields, included plated shields, for the following materials:

- Copper
- Gold
- Diamond
- Iron
- Netherite

## Crafting

<Callout variant="info">
    For more information on plated shields, you should check out the [Shield Platings](./shield_platings) guide.
</Callout>

You can craft all of these shields using the standard shield recipe, just replacing the iron ingot with the material of your choice.

<div className={"flex flex-row justify-center flex-wrap max-w-full md:flex-col"}>
    <CraftingRecipe
        slots={[
            'minecraft:oak_planks', 'minecraft:diamond', 'minecraft:oak_planks',
            'minecraft:oak_planks', 'minecraft:oak_planks', 'minecraft:oak_planks',
            '', 'minecraft:oak_planks', '',
        ]}
        result="shields:diamond_shield"
        count={1}
    />
</div>

Copper shields will require **honeycomb** alongside a copper ingot, this is to prevent the shield from oxidizing. (In the future, I plan to remove this and allow copper shields to oxidize.)

<div className={"flex flex-row justify-center flex-wrap max-w-full md:flex-col"}>
    <CraftingRecipe
        slots={[
            'minecraft:oak_planks', 'minecraft:copper_ingot', 'minecraft:oak_planks',
            'minecraft:oak_planks', 'minecraft:honeycomb', 'minecraft:oak_planks',
            '', 'minecraft:oak_planks', '',
        ]}
        result="shields:copper_shield"
        count={1}
    />
</div>
